Its ok, but like all newer EA Sports games, the PC version is cheaper than the PS2, XBOX, and GC versions.
But it can help you to learn how golf works, what different clubs are used for, and how to hit the balls.
This is a fun game for everyone, including non-golf fans. The only thing besides the product placement which may be objectionable in this game is some mild lyrics in the soundtrack. For example, "Party Up" by DMX. Though squeaky clean, it still has those fill-in-the blank parts that might upset parents (but will go over kids' heads).
